[Huck]

Fox's best show is last, and Larry must have had a big name guest.

[Pubbie]

It's disgusting that NoBalls Matthews is ahead of Scarborough.

Everytime a Democrat comes on his show, Pissy Prissy Matthews looks like he is going to piss his pants.

[Azzurri]

Anybody else notice that Larry King has virtually abandoned the arena of politics and now has almost exclusively "celebrity" interviews. His ratings have ticked up a notch since deploying this tactic (a sad commentary on our society), but Hannity & Colmes still lead him.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

We'll see if they can keep it. They've been tossing softballs over the immigration proposal. It's disgusting! Remember when we had the Cottonballs for Wolfie campaign?

We might have to revive it and send them to Fox News. Lou Dobb had the best coverage. He didn't have alot of facts, but he knew BS when he heard it and jumped right down their throats! And that's CNN, folks. MSNBC is also beating Fox butt on this issue. They're losing me. I rarely go to Fox these days. Notice that they're back using that ancient "now 8 million illegal aliens in this country?" Gee...it was 14 million a few years ago and that number was wrong even then! More than that figure have entered the country since Bush came into office. Millions more will follow shortly.

[Huck]

Damn! I hadn't even noticed Chrissy! What's up with Hardball? .5 is like freaking nirvana for that loser show! Normally it is mathematically impossible to post worse ratings than Mathews. I guess his one on one interviews with the dwarves are giving him a little bump. Howard Dean is good for Mathews, I think. Damn.

[republicanwizard]

Oh, he hates Bush with a passion. It's obvious. Ever seen him with Kristina Vanden Heuvel. I think she is a mean angry (fill in the blank). Chrissy thinks she is beautfiul and brilliant.

[Pubbie]

"Anybody else notice that Larry King has virtually abandoned the arena of politics and now has almost exclusively "celebrity" interviews."

Yeah but they are all 60+ year old celebrities.

[Pubbie]

I've stopped watching him so I don't know if he's doing anything different.

[ChiMark]

Shep Smith is ahead of Hannity. Good. Hannity better wise up and dump Colmnes or combs whatever. Alan is nothing but an irritant. I have to mute him. King can run some good interviews. Mush mouth Matthews is losing every since he gave "soft balls" to Hillary. That's great news!

[Simonne]

Do you know the ratings of these shows as of April 2004. I'm curious because Scarborough is a pretty good show. I kind of watch both Greta & Scarborough depending whose on & topic. Scarborough is pretty darn good & it seems that his ratings should be going up.

[Simonne]

I've been watching less of Matthews & went Christina appears, forget it, I switch station.

[Republican Red]
